10 out of 10 experience - This was an amazing way to see the island. Listor would text destinations to go to and if you wanted to skip one or add something it wasn't a problem at all. The buggy was in excellent shape and clean, they even provided chairs for the beach. I would do this every time I port here. He even suggested this great food truck with amazing Ox tail and Jerk chicken. Do not pass up on this great way to see the island.

Verify helpful with where to go and what to see. - Very helpful and informative with place to visit. Back seat a little tight, but enough room for 4 adults. Good locations to visit.

So much fun!!! - Our friends and I rented 2 buggies while we were on port during our cruise. From the very beginning John was wonderful to work with, very professional and quick to respond. Our 2 buggies were waiting just like we were told. Everything was so easy. The concept of a guided tour without actually having a guide right in front of you was awesome! John stayed in touch with us through text all day. We visited some beautiful places and enjoyed the island at our own pace. The buggies are in great shape, and ride very very well. Drop off was a breeze!! Thank you John and team for a super fun day!!!! For everyone looking for a fun activity on your stop in St Thomas, you cannot go wrong with this great company!!!!

A MUST DO!!!!!!!! - This is a must do!!!! We weren’t fans of any of the excursions that our cruise offered and I’m so happy that we found Island Buggy Excursions. John provided us with concierge level customer service from booking throughout our drive. He sent us suggested locations and made sure that we saw all that the beautiful island has to offer. Thanks again to John and his team!!!!!

Wonderful experience - We had an absolute blast. The staff was super friendly and easy to work with. It was so nice to give them a few places we wanted to visit and then they mapped it out for and sent to us as GPS. Highly recommend

The best time ... on our schedule! - Like the other reviews here we feel like this is just a fabulous excursion for a small group who wants to see as much of St. Thomas as possible. John was just great - texted me multiple times before the day of the excursion and walked us through finding him the morning our ship docked. The GPS and texting worked flawlessly. We were able to visit 3-4 beaches and other places to get amazing photos. We loved that we were able to do this all on our own schedule. The buggy ran great and driving on the left was no issue. Our teen daughters loved it. Would do this again!!

Best way to visit St Thomas! - Went on a cruise for a relaxation trip - hadn’t planned any excursions. When we disembarked at St. Thomas we met Liston from Island Buggy Excursions at the port. Decided to rent a buggy for the day. Liston walked us to the onsite office where we met John, the owner. He set us up with everything and explained the process - we use maps on our phone and they have GPS on the buggy. He gave us the name of the first place we were to go to, and then when we get there he’ll send us the next location. Stops will vary based on how long we stay at each location and what types of activities we liked. We wanted beach, bars, shopping and lunch. John set us up perfectly.
Beautiful spots for views of the island, great off-track lunch spot by the ocean with incredible fish tacos (the Shack at Hull Bay), perfect souvenir and daiquiri stop, multiple beaches and a really cool bar in town near the port (The Lost Turtle) when we had a little more time before getting back to the boat - and John even stopped it to say hello. Liston and John were great - communicated via texts all day to make sure we were good and give next location. It was an awesome way to see the island without being locked into a guided tour with preset stops and times. This was definitely a highlight of our trip - a perfect day in St. Thomas!
Thanks John and Liston for making our day wonderful!
